I spent a good number of years in the Lakers territory (in Southern California) and Lakers were the first NBA team that I started supporting and following. So that's my reason for being a Lakers fan. It used to be fun when they were winning all the time, but then Kobe started to get older, management changed, good players started to leave, roster was full of nobodies, coaches sucked, etc. Expectations are low, but it's still as much fun when they win or when Kobe does something cool on the court

And as far as Bay Area walas are concerned, most of them have jumped on the Golden State Warriors bandwagon. Hard to blame them, they deserve a thread of their own. They are unstoppable, and so is Curry. Too good! When Warriors aren't playing Lakers, I root for them too

Anyways, I saw one game in the staples center but it was a women' basketball game- LA sparks vs a New York team. I got a free pass for that. Luda Leslie was also playing.

Why I asked in the first place was because one FB friend from Bay Area was gushing over Dodgers' defeat

Luda Leslie I can see how you fat fingered that one

There is no real rivalry between Lakers and Warriors (maybe a little between Lakers and Kings -- but then Kings are not really from the bay area), so it's not uncommon to find people in Lakers (usually Kobe's) jerseys even here. On the other hand, people HATE Dodgers. Dodgers vs. Giants could get nasty.

Kobe Bryant played his final NBA game Wednesday night, and photographer Andy Bernstein had exclusive access to Kobe as he put on his No. 24 Lakers jersey one final time. These are the images from that night, accompanied by words from Kobe and others’ post-game press conference.
